Las recurrentes metafísicas de la ley universal (Da Capo)

   La neurociencia afectiva muestra que las congregaciones humanas son fuentes de opiáceos internos para el individuo. Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Salus, dice el viejo dogma de la Iglesia Católica, fuera de la Iglesia no hay salvación, o salud, u opio. La misma Iglesia se encargó siempre de que el adagio se cumpliera al pie de la letra, quitando la salud a cualquiera que la contradijera. El grupo es sacrosanto, cualquier mono lo sabe, pero no el grupo rival. Naciones e Iglesias ceden hoy bajo el peso de las comunidades virtuales en nuestra nueva Edad Media. Estas luchas de poder entre señores feudales (corporaciones) y reyes (naciones) son mediadas por la nueva Ecclesia Cibernáutica que tiene la última palabra sobre masallases al controlar la memoria colectiva. Agotado por las recurrentes metafísicas de la ley universal, echo de menos una vida mejor que nunca hubo, una Atenas que no mate o exilie por no creer en los dioses, un mundo capaz de vivir sin la superstición del dinero, un grupo de hombres libres que encienda fuegos inextinguibles frotando su voz en la poesía.

Limen et Continuum

  Existence is Encounter. Meeting at the limen. In the limen, the masks disappear, that is, the basic intuitions of identities, such as the identity that I feel and think in relation to the tree that I see in front of me. The identity of the tree is a projection of mine: the unity of my process of perceiving the tree generates a mask in me, the ghost of a limited unity separated from everything else. The simplest form of intuitive understanding of masks and limen is given to us by numbers. Numbers intuitively express the liminal tension that is Existence. A little etymological note. Rythmos in Greek means flow. Arythmos (number) is what does not flow, what remains solidified. Numbers express the liminoid, and flow, rhythm, expresses the liminal. A rhythm becomes liminoid when we can trace patterns in it, that is, when we can construct masks of identities. Mathematics has spoken of flow using the Latin word “continuum”, the continuous. All modern science, since Leibni...

Metalanguages are formal metaphors

  In a logic class, the professor tells his students: "Yesterday, while talking with my Sufi gardener about happiness, we ended up talking about metalanguages, because he said that orchids are 'chambers where light plays between amorous encounters.' I told him: 'You have to be a poet to talk about poetry.' He replied: 'You just have to be human.'" In what way can we say that my gardener is proposing that every metalanguage is a formalized metaphor for its object language and what would be the metaphor for arithmetical addition? Furthermore” -he asks-how does this little narrative show that Kurt Gödel was a Platonist? One student answers: “The gardener uses orchids as a metaphor for biological reproduction, and from this he makes a second-order metaphor at the human level, calling reproduction a loving encounter. The gardener is a Sufi; in Sufi ontology, the word 'encounter' is used as equivalent to 'existence,' a double meaning (Wujud)....

Rhapsodies of Anima Mundi: Fear of Death

In the nascent dawn of consciousness, when the human spirit still danced in rhythmic harmony with the grand, elemental pulse of nature, the enigma of cessation—that profound silence we name death—arose as the most formidable of shadows. Yet, it was not then perceived as an absolute, terminal end in the stark, isolated sense we often conceive today. For those early societies, intimately imbricated in the vast and primordial canvas of the Anima Mundi, death was seamlessly woven into the very ur-tapestry of existence as a continuity, a fluid dissolution into the great soul of the world, or a joyous return to a collective paradise, utterly devoid of the strict, solitary individuation that modernity has, unwittingly, imposed upon us. This is not merely the clinical apprehension of biological cessation, but rather a primordial panic before the void, a visceral anguish in the face of the "I's" dissolution and the potential loss of all that imbues life with meaning. Confronted...
